ARMORKRYSTAL 500(LIQUID CRYSTALLINE INTEGRAL WATERPROOFING ADMIXTURE)
ARMORKRYSTAL 500 -Krystal Integral Membrane is a liquid crystalline Integral waterproofing admixture designed to resist hydrostatic pressure and for all concrete requiring primary waterproofing. The innovative crystalline technology within ARMORKRYSTAL reacts with moisture silicate and free lime, a natural by-product of the cement hydration process. The reaction creates millions of nano-crystal which grow throughout the concrete pores and capillary tract. Thus the concrete becomes
permanently sealed against the penetration of water or liquids from any direction. The concrete is protected from the deterioration due to harsh environmental conditions.
ARMORKRYSTAL 500 has been specifically formulated to meet the different temperature and climate conditions. Because it is also liquid, it eliminates the risk of clumping.
Advantages:
- Extremely resistant to hydrostatic pressure from
both negative and positive side of the slab - Increases freeze thaw resistance of the concrete
- Becomes an integral part of the concrete.
- Highly resistant to aggressive chemicals and
protect reinforcement against corrosion. - Non-toxic (NSF 61 certified for potable water
applications) - Negligible effect on slump, air entrainment,
plasticizers and water reducers. - Permeability tested as per ACE (Army corps of
Engineers) - Allows concrete to breathe and can seal hairline
crack up to 0.4mm
ARMORKRYSYAL 500 can be used for the structural waterproofing of all concrete structures such as:
-
- Reservoirs
- Sewage and Water Treatment Plants
- Foundation and retaining Wall
- Underground Vaults
- Secondary Containment Structures
- Tunnels and Subway Systems
- Swimming Pool
- Concrete Slabs and Precast panels
Dosage Rate: Dosage Rate: 1- 2% by weight of cement.
Consult with ARMORSIL’s Technical Department
for assistance in verifying the appropriate
dosage rate and for further information
regarding enhanced chemical resistance and
optimum concrete performance for your project.
Mixing: ARMORKRYSTAL 500® must be added
to the concrete at the time of batching.
